This year you may purchase an ad for your child that will be displayed in the school yearbook. The price is $25. (We have a limited number of pages available for ads.)

Attention all talented 8^th graders: We are pleased to announce the upcoming 8^th grade only talent show. It will take place on December 20th (Friday before winter break). Your talent show piece will need to be viewed and approved prior to show. You will be limited to 2.5 minutes. Please consider showcasing your hidden talent.

See Sra. Dickerson if you have questions or please send her an email: Kim.dickerson@cobbk12.org. We look forward to seeing the dancers, singers and musical acts by our very own Simpson 8^th grade. If we have an overwhelming response, we will be picking the best 10 to showcase.

To try out please see Sra. Dickerson or Ms. Watkins to schedule an appointment. Appointments will take place in the morning, before school begins.

The Cobb County School District is proud to introduce the Blackboard Connect Parent Portal, an online system designed to allow you to customize how you receive notifications from your child’s school as well as from the district. The Blackboard Connect Parent Portal will allow parents to choose how they receive these notifications as well as keep that information up to date. Notifications can now be received by phone, text message, or email.

You can find instructions on how to access here:  Blackboard Parent Connect Portal

PTSA Membership Guidelines for the 2013-2014 school year… The Simpson PTSA has done away with the “package” concept to simplify the membership process. There are separate line items for donations and memberships, and you can purchase a calendar and/or a directory as well on the form. A registration form is found below for your review. You can download the form from the website and put it in the gold PTSA box in the front office and we will process your form quickly.

The PTSA programs run solely on donations, so we do kindly ask a $25 donation per child in lieu of fundraising throughout the year.

We suggest at least one PTA membership per household if you would like to vote on issues that pertain to the PTSA (budget, projects, officer positions, etc.) during the year, but otherwise we don’t require each student or parent to have a membership.

Thank you, in advance, for your donations and your support of the Simpson PTSA.
